The Giants watched Jose Reyes reach base six times last night -- three hits, three walks.

Now, San Francisco is mulling a trade for the free-agent-to-be, according to CSNBayArea.com.

Here's an excerpt from the report, which cited a "major-league source":

The source noted that a Giants-Mets swap could work in that New York isn't likely to do what many teams have done to end conversations with Giants general manager Brian Sabean: Demand a member of San Francisco's vaunted starting rotation.

Mired in major financial trouble as the result of owner Fred Wilpon's alleged ties to Bernie Madoff and the infamous "Ponzi Scheme," the Mets, according to the New York-based source, have already decided to shop Reyes (and perhaps Carlos Beltran and David Wright) and will be looking to stockpile and rebuild with high-level prospects rather than established players anywhere near arbitration or free agency.

My $0.02:

Right now Reyes is hitting .327 with a .377 on-base percentage. It's been a best-case start for the 28-year-old shortstop.

If he stays healthy, someone is going to pay him $20M per for a long time.

In all likelihood that won't be GM Sandy Alderson and the Mets.

So, if I'm Sandy, I'm listening. Now.

Someone comes across with an offer that can legitimately help shape the future of this franchise, I think he's ought to consider pulling the trigger.
